Description
One of the most brilliant pianists and composers on the UK scene, Gwilym moves effortlessly between jazz and classical.
The album introduces his new trio featuring extraordinary, classically trained Russian bassist Yuri Goloubev and young UK drum star James Maddren as well as documenting Gwilym's emerging voice as a solo pianist. The first CD offers a mix of stunning improvisations and new original compositions as well as insightful interpretations of Grieg's Piano Concerto and a unique reading of the popular tune 'On Broadway'. It also provides a brief window into the mind of a composer who mixes classical and jazz effortlessly, with a recording of a suite for cello and piano originally written for the opening of London's celebrated new classical and chamber venue King's Place. Classical cellist Cara Berridge features on this work. The trio CD is a mix of Simcock compositions and imaginative interpretations of great classics such as 'Black Coffee' and 'Cry Me A River'.
